Songs 7:6
“ רֹאשֵׁךְ עָלַיִךְ כַּכַּרְמֶל”
“Thy head upon thee is like Carmel… ”
Another explanation to this verse tells us that the head is Zeir Anpin, which is the aspect of the Torah, and is on top of Malchut, which is the aspect of the oral Torah. All study levels of the Torah with the revealed secrets create channels of light that is the aspect of the hair coming down from the head. It elevates Malchut as it says in Proverb 31:29 “רַבּוֹת בָּנוֹת, עָשׂוּ חָיִל; וְאַתְּ, עָלִית עַל-כֻּלָּנָה” “Many daughters have done valiantly, but you went above them all.’”
Songs 7:6
“ רֹאשֵׁךְ עָלַיִךְ כַּכַּרְמֶל”
“Thy head upon thee is like Carmel… ”
The Zohar brings another explanation to this verse. The head and its hair have 13 ‘Tikunim’ that, in these aspects, are established channels to the upper levels. The thirteen are the 12 signs of the Zodiac plus the Moon. The Zohar tells us that the Moon includes all signs because it channels their influence to our world.
There are 13 ‘Tikunim’ of the ‘beard’ of Arich Anpin (Tikunei Dikna D’Arich Anpin). The light from the head that is Keter, (Arich Anpin) comes down through the sides of the head to the root of the beard (chin level) and spreads to the chest from that point, ‘feeding’ Zeir Anpin. The hair is the aspect of the constellations and their stars.
The moon is the aspect of the Israelites that don’t have their own light but are responsible to channel it to the world below. While they are in this state of exile, the other nations have the control over Malchut. When the time of the Redemption comes, the angels of Malchut ארגמן (See DZ 1047) will connect the head יהוה YHVH and Malchut אדני ADNY as יאהדונהי that is numerically 91 and the secret of Amen אמן that are the first and the last two letters of the 5 angels ארגמן (Uriel אוריאל, Michael מיכאל and נוריאל Nuriel).
It is an important meditation to scan the sequence of the two names יאהדונהי when answering Amen to a blessing. This draws the light and makes connection between the two names of God, the upper YHVH and lower ADNY. The Zohar tells us that the person that answers Amen gets more light than the one who makes the blessings. That is because while answering Amen we use two names instead of one, that is in the actual blessing.
When answering Amen to a Kadish, we use the sequence of אידהנויה. It is the same names and same numerical value. The difference is the order of the name. Because the Kadish elevates the connection, we start with the lower name ADNY אדני.

HI ZION
I HOPE YOU ARE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE
CAN YOU TELL ME IF MEDITATION IS A PRACTICE
IN KABBALAH? WHERE WOULD I FIND THAT SUBJECT
IN THE TEACHINGS?
Definition of to meditate, meditation (Merriam-Webster Dict.)
“to engage in mental exercise for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness”,”to plan or project in the mind”, “to focus one’s thoughts”
Kabbalah is all about meditation. every sacred word reaches spiritual dimensions where we can draw light to our lives and environments. There are many constructed meditations that we learn from the Zohar and the Holy Ari. Our prayers should not be about singing together but about using the sacred text to elevate and share common consciousness.
The regular term meditation is understood as sitting in a quiet place and engage the mind in some kind of Mantra or breathing techniques. These are very good and I recommend them for physical and spiritual health but in addition we should meditate on the sacred names and text to elevate our mind and consciousnesses to a higher place.
Best meditation place in the world at this moment is http://UnityZohar.com it is a place where everyone can join in reading or scanning the Zohar text for the purpose of drawing more light to the world.
Thank You
for the secret
shabat shalom

Dear Zion,
Blessings and gratefull to have you back in full function,
All the inner power through recent tests and mutual cooperation in your community among your neighbours and co-citizens.
Light and wisdom for highest good,
Dear Ivan, I can’t say that we are in full action because power is out and not expected to be restored for another week to 10 days.
I use outside PCs or iphone to write and manage comments. The study of Tikunei Zohar will end with DZ 1069 and I don’t want to let this obstacle disrupts this work. As a sportsman you know that the last part of the process to achieve the goal requires greater effort than the beginning.
We have to fight to finish and I will immediately continue (DZ 1070) with the study if Zohar Pinchas. No breaks or vacation. I ask everyone to meditate for everyone to continue the study of Zohar to bring greater light to the world to break the forces of darkness.
All should read again the article ‘Why 2012?’ And connect to unityzohar.com.
Love to all
Underastand,

A reminder to the strong and pure that our Father in Heaven cries for Malchut de Malchut all the time. They are children sleeping in need of awakening.
Amen Zion,
sages always said that connections, meditations, prayers, must be directed to the spiritual realm because the origin of everything that happens in the plans material and physical, comes from there.
May everyone have the right kavanah/intention in connection time, for the Light to flow unhindered to all.
Blessings and Light to all,
La Luz y la fuerza esté contigo Zion y co todos los amigos de DZ.
AMEN, Love this meditation thank yu Zion for the Gift you give to us. I receive and accept my Blessing AMEN AMEN AMEN.
Shabbat Shalom to all and specially for your family and you Zion.
Zion why is it that the Israelites do not have light of their own? If the Jews are the chosen people then wouldn’t God give them special treatment and bless them above all other nations?
Thank you and hope you are all safe and well.
The Israelites have bigger vessels and ability to channel the light to their life and to the world. Smaller vessels look for immediate fulfillment in the material world.
The size of the vessel is about the spiritual level. A poor person may have a huge vessel and a billionaire may have tiny one. Desire for the self alone means smaller vessel and desire to share represent expanded vessel.
Jews is a modern term that doesn’t appear in the Zohar. Among Jews you could find many Erev Rav, meaning souls that are mix of impurity from the negative side.
Jew are souls with a bigger Tikkun process as they need to work harder to channel the light and/or transform themselves.
If Jews have a bigger and harder Tikkun process, does that mean they have more ‘negative baggage’ from previous lifetimes, or because they simply have a stronger evil inclination than other people and thereby also greater potential to do good? Thank you.
do kabbalists get involved with politics and recommending who one should
vote for?
Kabbalists connect only to truth. Politics are full of lies and personal or group agenda. An elected politician will always take care for ‘his people’ first.
If you see a person claims to be a kabbalist and support a political figure then he is not a kabbalist. A kabbalist may meet and talk to politicians to promote truth and to better the world but not as a runner for a political position.
Interesting and very powerfull claim. Could we say than that leaders could be leaders without the issues that form politician.
Let us turn to the goal, intentions of such leader? To provide his people with they need for their spiritual path and accept each other in those spiritual paths? But then there is question of trust, certainty that manifestiation of spiritual system on the earth could be int the form that we can coexist-cohabit with each one’s obligation to follow his spiritual path?
But what we have now is political system
(and global web of political systems with interfaces between them )
to establish some form of balance ( where judgements could be executed )?
But reading in your text, for the Kabbalist doesn’t matter present system. Me as Kabbalist student is serving to my soul mate( wherever she is, my people, following spiritual path, opening eyes for opportunities to transform?, work to draw the Light on groups, people, closed ones, community )? And that should be constant in any political system or anarchy or any form of chaotic web of relationships in form of property, work, familly ties, daily access to resources for personal growth and spiritual growth, keeping the right for providing the loved ones what they need for their spiritual and personal growth?
The last questions just put questions to myself, no need to answer.
Wow, I found the answer to Chris’s questions so enlightening. So basically, not all Jews are Israelites? People who are born Jewish in this life have a bigger correction process and have to work harder to transform themselves, but that does not mean they are necessarily Israelites. Can a gentile be an Israelite? When the Zohar was written did the term Israelites refer to people who are born Jewish or to both Jew and Gentile. What happens if a born Jew converts to Christianity/Catholicism and accepts Jesus as his personal savior -- is that viewed as a negative thing by Kabbalah? Also does it sort of mean according to what you are saying that the Jew whom converts to Christianity is trying to avoid his/her tikkun process? Please respond. Thank yoiu.
All souls born as Jews have a pure part in them, including Erev Rav that the impure part is bigger and harder to correct.
Yes a ‘gentile’ can be Israelite. a Jew can not convert his soul to other religions because there is no ‘downgrade’ option. Following a different spiritual beliefs or system of A non Jew can expands his soul with greater desire and connections to the Light. For that a convert receives additional soul level.
All people that believes in the one God should know that God doesn’t make mistakes and his original plan is flawless. All religions are part of the global Tikun that we all need to go through. The prophecies talks about the gathering of Israelites from all corners of the world. They are not just about Jews. They talks about the souls that awaken to the true light of the Zohar that spreads out around the world.
The more souls we bring into this light the closer we get to Mashiach and the Final Redemption.
People should do everything to prepare themselves for the time of Mashiach and not waiting for Mashiach /redeemer A or B or C or …N to save the world. In that case they may not see Redemption unless their soul is ready.
Thnks a lot Zion because you answered my personal question… When a soul decided to be a jew, it will lead it all the time, a jew can’t reject to be a jew soul… So if i understood, some “gentiles” are jews in the process of correction… And they hava an upgrade opportunity to return to their jew origins…. That is why converted ppl receives and additional level than the natural borned jews… All my love for you Zion… Rajel
